Well, we put the crate in our room and decided - seeing as she's 99% housetrained, that it can stay up there. She is not allowed up there usually because the cats are upstairs until we get them integrated.

The night was a huge success. She went potty at 11.30pm, then I put her in her crate with her teddy (in our room) and we went to bed but left the lamp and tv on for 1/2 hour.. then turned everything off. The next thing we knew it was 7.15am and the alarm was going off. She made no sound all night. Woo! She's much more awake today and seems happier somehow - but still clingy so we're working on that. Thanks for the advice everyone!
